She’s made her way to the top of the modeling world ever since she won the Ford Supermodel of the World contest in 2008, around the time when the lack of Asian models in the modeling world was garnering attention.

With her beauty, work ethic, and endless optimism, Kang shows that Asian models can make it in the industry, and she has been proudly representing her country ever since she came onto the scene.

She made her magazine cover debut alongside Korean supermodel Hye Park, and walked for major names like Marc by Marc Jacobs, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Karen Walker, and Michael Kors.

She’s starred in both Lacoste and DKNY campaigns, and renewed the latter just this year. With her signature ear-to-ear smile and fresh face that lights up the room, Kang cannot help but be noticed on and off the catwalks.

Her street style is a mix and match of tastes that range from colorful schoolgirl to rock and roll army girl. Her confidence makes her capable of pulling off any look, and she’s fearless when it comes to expressing her experimental fashion sense in any shape or form. She even makes sweats look like couture. Kang is a young style maker inside and out, who’s taking the fashion world by storm. Find out how to nab her unique style, below.
